Anti-Natalist = Anti-Pro-Life. Got it. Thanks AP. Thanks U.S. Attorney Bilal “Bill” Essayli. Real responsible headline here.

Was stumped for a bit and didn’t think I could live through this but going blank again helped me sea change. Thanks for the puzzle, this is hardcore.

My new video, Notes on Vanishing, is out now.

I keep returning to an unthinkable question: is it time for trans people to make ourselves disappear?

Enjoy 🌃

It's rare you get such a clear illustration of whose lives have value in America and whose don't

This year I’ve been on cusp of like four incredible opportunities that would change my life forever but in the meantime I’ve gotten pretty great at making instant ramen.

You haven’t really lived until you’ve almost died blasting LCD Soundsystem on your drive home from work.

38 unmarked graves found at South Dakota boarding school; church offers few answers Crow Creek Sioux Tribe members are working to identify who rests in an unmarked gravesite on the former grounds of the Immaculate Conception Mission Catholic boarding school.

38 confirmations of unmarked graves of our Native youth at immaculate conception mission school in South Dakota during Native Heritage Month. The Crow Creek are working to identify our young relatives.

This is your legacy. We're reclaiming ours.

If sinking a medically inadvisable number of hours into Balatro has taught me anything, it’s that I can never download this app. This industry terrifies me.

Comfort movie

Killmonger 2.0 incoming.

Love @nebula.tv but I gotta admit their bassy Originals intro is borderline a brown note. If I hear it in headphones I get q~u~e~a~s~y.

Broey Deschanel’s “Taboo on Screen” series on @nebula.tv is absurdly excellent. Can’t wait for the next episode.

The Santa Monica Coalition is a profoundly un-empathetic and wrong-minded organization. Ignore every single thing they have to say. 😊

Vacuum sealing my bladder to get every ounce out before Killers of the Flowers Moon.

Marrying the woman of my dreams this week

Shooting to keep the number of writing all-nighters under five this semester. Just hit two which doesn’t bode well!

Catching up on some @nebula.tv videos while working from home. So far I’ve learned the law isn’t real, digital detritus may consume our world, and Roger Rabbit may have killed cinema.

Canada’s National Parks Are Colonial Crime Scenes | The Walrus Many Canadians see wilderness as a right of citizenship. But the concept of Canada as a wilderness is unrecognizable to me and to other Indigenous people

Great essay from @rjjago.bsky.social I somehow missed when it was first published. This is just as applicable to the US National Park system. Yellowstone, Glacier, Mesa Verde, all founded on removal.

Funny how my day’s plans get derailed to moment @foldablehuman.bsky.social drops a video.

Watched “SLASH/BACK” last night. It was delightful, endearing, exciting, and unafraid to veer headlong into body horror. Mad respect!

Got pneumonia, admittedly odd, but from the way people are reacting when I tell them you'd think I have polio. People get still get pneumonia y'all!

Every attempt to wean off caffeine inevitably ends with me buying a Monster out of desperation at 4pm and vibrating for the rest of the day

The team at @propublica.bsky.social are among the only journalists producing quality investigative journalism on native communities. Their Repatriation Project is a thing of beauty and I love to see this widespread academic misconduct get the attention it requires.

Further recommendations welcome!
